“It is the coldest, most desolate area on this planet”
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Except for the ANTarctic!
Quickly, find all the things that aren't being taxed, and tax them.
And while we're at it, let's find all the things that are being taxed and tax them more.
That's sure to bring back the unicorns, or cool the earth, or whatever.
Hell, the way they think, global warming causes everything, Rip.
since 81, artic ice is up 7%, antartic ice is up 41%. I guess they didn’t get the memo.

Global Warming on Free Republic
More open ocean means more evaporation and more snow at high latitudes. Some of this snow in the mountains doesn’t melt and continental glaciers begin to form....
Did it occur to these morons yet that in the winter, the ARCTIC is not reflecting much of ANY sunlight back into space?
Cause you're in the middle of a heat wave right now, that's why.
Count your blessings.
(Could you send some of it our way?)
Too funny. An article a week or so ago blamed snow cover in Siberia for REFLECTING HEAT and contributing to a cooler hemisphere by screwing with the jet stream.
Just how much sunlight is up there this time of year?
No matter what the weather IS, the cause will be claimed to be Global Warming because that is where the grant money is.
The previously underestimated reduction in solar energy that the planet absorbs is 'driving stronger climate change' than previously thought.

Video.
But hey, just dream up any conclusion and the stupid idiotic public will believe it because it is in print or on the news.
Wanted to include this from an Accuweather Blog:

Catching up on pictures, part 1

A couple weeks later on Monday, September 27, we saw one of our first significant icing events:
Later that morning, the fog suddenly cleared off:
*******************************EXCERPTS***************************************
This part will focus on one single event that took place in the middle of October: our first significant snowfall of the new winter season! From Friday October 15 to Monday October 18 we measured about 10 inches of snow. This quickly transformed the summit from shades of brown to all white, and quite a bit of drifting occured as well.
Let's get started by taking a look at one of those drifts, after one of the members of the Stat Park crew plowed a path through it:
On Monday, October 18, I took a 2 mile walk down the Auto Road to check out the condition of the road. Again, I encountered quite a bit of drifting:
At around the 6-mile mark (from the base) on the road, the clouds began to break at times:
Here is one of our remote weather stations. This one is placed at about 5,300 feet in elevation alongside the road:
On the way back up to the summit, I stopped to take some pictures of a pretty incredible amount of hard rime ice that had formed on some wooden posts that mark the latter part of the road as it nears the summit cone:
The intricacies of the rime ice formations really are incredible:
Now to finish things up, here is a shot of the very wintry view that we got the next day, October 19. This is the first time we had a chance to see the results all the snowfall since we had been in the clouds for almost 6 days straight:
By the time you read this, I'll already be off the mountain and beginning my week off. I'll be back next week!
Looks like our back yard, sort of.
The idiots worrying about the Arctic not reflecting back the insolation, don’t consider that everywhere I look in NY it’s white, and reflecting back insolation.
My backyard is making up for what the Arctic which isn’t getting much sun anyway, isn’t reflecting back.
